[HELP] About Character Name

[cmwarjin0]

Hello guys.. i am trying out how to change in the source the original character name creation.. i am using Proud Source and it only allows me to use capital letter on the First letter of the character name.. Thanks in advance

but still cant figure out where to edit in database

[Mushpoie]

It's due to one of the __SECURITY_FIXES in the database cpp's. I forget which one exactly so you'd have to check.

dbo.CHECK_CHARS has nothing to do with forcing lowercase lettering. I told you where the problem is lol.

i commented out __SECURITY_FIXES from versioncommon.h in database, neuz and world. compiled with no errors but still the name will automatically change into lowercase

Check what __SECURITY_FIXES it does dont just comment it out and maybe try comparing the wndtitle ^

void	CProject::Formalize( LPSTR szName )

This method (_strlwr() to be exact) converts all characters to lowercase except the first one. Remove the call to it in

void CDbManager::CreatePlayer(CQuery *qry, LPDB_OVERLAPPED_PLUS lpDbOverlappedPlus)

or change the switch/case code inside it.
